We&#8217;re now 4 weeks into the Mothering Sunday to Mothers&#8217; Day Charity Campaign. The organization that gets the most votes in the poll by the end of Mothers&#8217; Day, will receive $1 for every 1000 page views Babylune serves up during the campaign.
Please take a few moments to learn more about RAWA, KIVA and the Society for Women&#8217;s Health Research and vote in the poll (if you haven&#8217;t already). Below the cut are a few ways you can make this campaign more successful by increasing the amount of the donation for the charity that receives the money.

<p>We&#8217;re now 4 weeks into the <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/babylune/reading-my-blog-for-charity-mothering-sunday-to-mothers-day/">Mothering Sunday to Mothers&#8217; Day Charity Campaign</a>. The organization that gets the most votes in the poll by the end of Mothers&#8217; Day, will receive $1 for every 1000 page views <a href="http://www.babylune.com">Babylune</a> serves up during the campaign.</p>
<p>Please take a few moments to learn more about <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/babylune/charity-campaign-spotlight-society-for-womens-health-research/">RAWA</a>, <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/babylune/charity-campaign-spotlight-society-for-womens-health-research/">KIVA</a> and the <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/babylune/charity-campaign-spotlight-society-for-womens-health-research/">Society for Women&#8217;s Health Research</a> and vote in the poll (if you haven&#8217;t already). Below the cut are a few ways you can make this campaign more successful by increasing the amount of the donation for the charity that receives the money.<span id="more-592"></span></p>
<p>The donation amount is based on page views. In the past, <a href="http://www.babylune.com">Babylune</a> has served up about 1000 each day, but the way page views are calculated was changed on April first, so it&#8217;s been a little lower.</p>
<p>Every time you click on &#8220;more&#8221; at the bottom of the post, or on a link that refers to another post within the site, then you increase the number of page views. Also, if you read this blog via a feed or a content aggregator, like Blogburst, your page views only count if you click through to the main <a href="http://www.babylune.com">Babylune</a> blog.</p>
<p>The other way you can help is to write a post about the campaign on your own blog. Depending on how strongly you feel about any of the three charities, you might tell your readers how you voted in the poll, why, and encourage them to vote the same way.</p>
<p>If you read blog headlines via <a href="http://www.digg.com/health/Charity_Campaign_Spotlight_Society_for_Women_s_Health_Research">Digg</a>, <a href="http://family.netscape.com/story/2007/04/09/announcing-celebrity-week-at-babylune">Netscape.com</a> or <a href="http://www.babblz.com/story.php?title=Charity-Campaign-Spotlight-Women%E2%80%99s-Health-Research">Babblz</a>, it would help if you voted up <a href="http://www.babylune.com">Babylune</a> posts. If you&#8217;d like me to vote up your posts there too, just leave the link as a comment.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to reach 100,000 page views and donate at least $100 by then end of the campaign at midnight on May 13th.</p>

Babylune&#8217;s Mothering Sunday to Mothers&#8217; Day Charity Campaign is chugging off to a wonderful start. In the first week, we&#8217;ve served up over 10 000 pages, 25 people have voted and the poll results are neck and neck. 
The campaign is to honour mothers in celebration of both Mothering Sunday in the UK on March 18th and Mothers&#8217; Day in the US and Canada on May 13th with a donation that will go to one of three women&#8217;s charities (RAWA, KIVA, or the Society for Women&#8217;s Health Research) chosen via a poll among readers of this blog. The donation will total $1 for every 1000 page [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/babylune">Babylune</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is Mothers&#8217; Day, or Mothering Sunday, in the UK. Mother&#8217;s Day in Canada and the USA isn&#8217;t until the first Sunday in May.
 
All the mothers who are feeling especially tired should just celebrate on both dates by sleeping in and having breakfast brought in on a silver tray.
 
How do I get this declared a universal law?
